Always remember, he believes that trans people can't transition as they can't change their biological sex.

But he calls an ai without biological sex and with a male coded name, the female version of that name. So trans people can't change their gender because of biological sex buz he can change the gender of an ai.

    Only old white men can change your gender. It should be decided by The Counsel.

    Sounds like he's conflating sex with gender. Ignoramus.

    So he doesn't believe in transgender, but he believes in transLIFE?

    It means that he believes a sentient human can not transition by their own choice but he gets transition a sentient AI as he wishes.

    And honestly, I think that highlights the issue if transition means he gets to have a woman submit to his every word, he supports it. So any transwoman who are into old white men and fulltime submission kink? There is an opportunity!
